The Fayetteville Fire Department will host its sixth Annual Women in Fire Service Day recruiting event on Saturday, June 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is for women interested in joining the fire service or learning more about becoming a firefighter.
The event will take place at the Fayetteville Fire Training Facility, 3065 Radar Rd.
Women in Fire Service Day provides a unique opportunity for women to get hands-on experience completing required physical ability drills, hone interview skills and talk with women currently serving as firefighters about their experiences with the Fayetteville Fire Department.
“A career in the fire service is open to anyone with the passion to serve, learn and grow,” said Recruitment Captain Stephen Shakeshaft in a press release. “This event gives women who are interested in the profession an opportunity to hear directly from female firefighters about their experiences, ask questions and learn about the training, support and career opportunities available within the fire service. We hope it inspires more women to see themselves in this rewarding career.”
Lunch will be provided for all participants.
To register for Women in Fire Day, contact Captain Shakeshaft, FFD Recruitment Officer, at 910-676-1716 or StephenShakeshaft@FayettevilleNC.gov. Registration is open until all spots are filled, as space is limited.
